When to Choose ISO 22000

ISO 22000 is the ideal choice when you want a comprehensive, internationally recognized food safety management system that integrates naturally with other ISO standards (9001, 14001, 45001). It's particularly valuable for organizations that don't need GFSI-benchmarked certification but want a rigorous, systematic approach to food safety. If your customers require GFSI recognition, consider FSSC 22000 — which builds on ISO 22000 and adds the GFSI benchmarking. We can help with both.

An ISO 22000 consultant helps you build, implement, and improve your food safety management system to meet the standard's requirements. A food safety auditor evaluates whether your system conforms to the standard during a formal audit. Think of it this way: the consultant gets you ready; the auditor tests whether you're ready.
